Andrea's Cole Slaw Recipe

We had a TON of really great cooks in our family when I was growing up. My Aunt Lil (far right) was the queen of fried fish, popcorn balls and apple pan pie. A very close second was my cousin, Andrea (center) who was equally as famous for her brownies and cole slaw. Here's her cole slaw recipe:

﻿1 medium head cabbage - shredded

2 carrots - grated

Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar

DRESSING:

1 cup cider vinegar

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. celery seed

1 tsp. prepared mustard

1/2 tsp. pepper

1/2 cup salad oil

1 cup sugar

Combine dressing ingredients and boil three minutes. Add to cabbage mixture, cover and let stand overnight in the fridge. This salad will keep crisp for a VERY long time.
